So I see Tepper wants a full on tank job I see for the next few seasons

Hurney will be fired right after the moment he makes our 1st overall selection in 2021.

Hurney can be the draft guy and VP can oversee signings and contracts.

This.  I don’t know what’s hard to figure out here.  

He’s gonna take a lot off of Hurneys plate and let him do what he does best.

Continue to destroy the Panthers depth. Awesome.

Pretty obvious he is stripping full control from Hurney.

Greg Olsen as GM would be better than Hurney.

I wish he would just demote him if he did not want to fire him. The current move smells of appeasement to me.

Demoting a GM has to be handled delicately if you don't want to lose the guy.

He’s setting up his FO in the image of other modern successful front offices.  COO>GM>Asst GM.

Fair. But the on-field results doesn't give a man wriggle room to complain in my opinion.

I have zero problem with this idea.

I am willing to see how this plays out before I make a comment on that.  It is clear Hurney is losing control of certain typically-GM activities.  We will see.

I would love to know what qualifications people here have to evaluate prior drafts at a higher level than hedge fund legend David Tepper (richest owner in the NFL).

In fact, there have been many write ups evaluating prior drafts from objective publications, and they have always found Hurney to have been one of the best drafters of the best decade.

I'm sorry you can't get over the fact he busted on Armanti Edwards a decade ago.

Then I hope Tepper makes that clear. I would hate it if there was cock fighting going on in the FO because Hurney thinks he is a God in the draft on top of formally having the GM tag that he can dismiss the VP/assist GM.
